No. It sounds much more like a 'hammer on' (just a left hand finger coming down hard on the string/fingerboard). The piano has vastly more string tension (approx. 200 lbs, depending on the piano) vs. the clavichord which has something like 10/15 lbs of tension. Just Google or YouTube for 'clavichord' and you'll find audio samples.

Where does the piano get its sound from?
The piano sound is produced by your fingers striking a key, this activates a hammer which in turn strikes strings/wires tuned to different pitches. The loudness/softness comes from the strength behind the finger striking the keys. The piano has three strings for each pitch (except for those in the bass) and it is the vibration which makes the sound. these can be altered by using the pedals - the left sostenuto sustains the lower pitches while allowing the higher notes to dampen/stop sounding. Una corda (middle pedal) shifts the hammers so only one string is struck - less sound vibrating, a little softer perhaps, but less resonance. The damper pedal (right) allows all strings to vibrate until released, blurring the sounds together.
